Fonds consists of photographs and negatives spanning A. Brodie Whitelaw's amateur and professional carrer as a photographer from the late 1920's until his death in 1995.

Includes photographs of people and places in Vancouver, 1927-1929 and Toronto, 1930-1934, and Chicago World's Fair, 1934; Toronto fashion model Mary Cosgrove; portraits, scenic views and architectural photographs taken by A. Brodie Whitelaw; photo of a dog by John Morris,[1927-1934]. A number of these photos were shown at the Toronto Camera Club and reflect the change that Canadian photography was undergoing during this period, - an emergence from pictorialism into greater realism and graphic interest in form. One photo won Brodie the Class D (Architecture) 1st prize award in the Kodak International Photography Competition of 1931. Also included in the collection is a portrait of A. Brodie Whitelaw by Iris McCaig, [1960].

Exhibition(s): 1930-1939 C, Toronto area salons including the Toronto International Salon (group). 1983 Private Realms of Light, PAC, Ottawa.

Whitelaw, A. Brodie, 1910-1995 : A. Brodie Whitelaw was born at Meaford, Ont. in 1910 and died in 1995. He moved with his parents to Vancouver in 1919, and by the age of twelve he had acquired a Kodak Vest Pocket camera. By his later high school years he had set up a small portrait photography business, in which he was help considerably by the internationally known photographer, John Vanderpant, whose style and outlook greatly influenced his photography at this time. After a year at Vancouver Technical High School, Whitelaw went to the University of British Columbia to study aeronautical engineering. He found this uncongenial and, as the Depression hit Vancouver with some force, came to Toronto in early 1931. After a short course at Shaw's business Schools, Whitelaw worked briefly in the accounting department of Shell Oil, and shortly thereafter became a photographer in the commercial and advertising studio at Milne Studios. By the autumn of 1931 he had joined the Toronto Camera Club, and exhibited in the club's monthly competitions. His increasing involvement in professional photography, and his desire to obtain a pilot's licence, led him to give up the Club in 1935. In the mid 1930s he moved to Pringle and Booth in the agency, fashion, and catalogue fields. Here he remained until 1942, when he joined the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan as staff pilot at No. 9 Air Observers School, RCAF, St-Jean, Quebec, a navigation school. After the War he joinded Brigden's Limited, a leading Toronto graphic arts house.

A. Brodie Whitelaw's early photography was mainly landscapes and portraits, done in soft and diffused focus. However, by the late 1920s, perhaps following his mentor Vanderpant, his interest in geometrical form and the massing of shapes had taken precedence over the pictorialist style. After his move east he continued his concentration on line and form. Whitelaw exhibited at the Toronto International and other Toronto area salons during the 1930s. After 1934 much of his photography was done with various colour methods, primarily three-colour carbon and wash-off relief; he gave these up when Kodachrome became readily available. After the War Whitelaw became deeply involved in professional activities. He was one of the founding members of the Commercial and Press Photographers Association of Canada (CAPPAC), served on the Board of Directors for six years, and was elected president of the association in 1955. He continued at Brigden's until his retirement in 1980.
